Set up InDesign to make your workflow easier

We can all use InDesign but lets create a Workspace that makes working with InDesign easier.
Select Essentials - Then select the menu again and select Reset Essentials


Now Drag the panels out so you have six individual panes


Lets star with the pages panel click the expand panel

The screen looks as shown below


Now drag layers towards the pages so that the status bar turns blue at this point release your mouse button and the layers will dock next to pages




we can now drag them to line up as shown below to start the character set drag the character styles to below the pages panel


Now you know how to dock the panels lay them out as shown below 



you can click on the collapse panel top right corner of the panel



The panel will now collapse


Click on the swatches tab to expand that panel


As you start using InDesign you will find this layout useful
